I've prepared my descent vessel as mentioned in the wiki http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Stupid_dwarf_trick#Journey_to_the_Center_of_the_Earth



The D.S. Callchannels is equipped with a bridge, treasury, living quarters, and food and drink stores. It has a Billon coated hull and four turbines hooked up to two generators to power through the dense magma. Controls to seal the entrances and launch the ship are inside so adventurous dwarves can launch when ready.

You too can launch the D.S. Callchannels for yourself by downloading the save file here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1860

is it the right shape to get all the way to the bottom without hitting an overhang inside the pipe?

[Darkond2100]

I recruited most of the fortress and put it in there. Then I hit the levers. It wasn't that awesome. Woulda been coolwer if it had survives, just stopped at the bottom of the magma pipe. I'm watching the tantrum spirals now.

[Darkond2100]

Damn, the tantrum spirrals are short and boring. LAME!

[tomas1297]

You wasted a perfectly good magma pipe.You could've made a stairwell to the bottom of it and make your fortress under a magma pipe,then seal it forever under the magma.

[Darkond2100]

I think I'll try it in Adventure mode.

Caveins do not leave empty space. Each tile proceeds downwards until it is blocked. That means ceilings. Your dwarves will be crushed out of existence 100% of the time.

[Darkond2100]

It's true. The roofs collapsed and nothing was left at all. *yawn*

[Yarn]

Meh, kind of interesting.

[Argonnek]

If you really want to send a dwarf to the center of the earth, put them in a cage and dump said cage into a bottomless pit/chasm. I don't think that magma flow tiles act as chasms.

[ungulateman]

Turn off caveins and imagine they're plunging down an endless hole instead by severing the bridge.

To be honest, I thought this topic was going to be about that Easter Egg from the 2D version.
